I want to thank the men and women of the Boder Patrol and Customs for wonderul memorial service they provided for my nephew James R. Dominguez and the assistance they gave his family. Border Patrol agents provided a 24-hour guard to his wife and kids and the memorable tribute was flawless, touching, and simply wonderful - from the playing of the bagpipes, to the 21-gun salute and playing of Taps, to the riderless horse, to the helicopter flyover, everything was worthy of my nephew who was a kind and decent man and a great husband, father, son, and newphew. Someone mentioned that being a modest and unassuming young man James would have been a bit embarrassed by all the attention he was being shown. But I can't think of anyone who deserved it more.

MY prayers are with your sector agents and the families. I had the good fortune to work with some really great Border agents while in San Angelo I have great respect for the dangerous and thankless job that they do. May the peace of our lord comfort you Agent Dominquez.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
